The present paper has the objective to relate an experience in hospital Psychology supervision in the graduation course. For the analysis, we made use of our experience as a probation supervisor in a university in Resende, in the Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. This report focused the period between March, 2003, and July, 2005, based on the conduct observations and the students’ speech analysis at the supervision encounters. Along the period, 26 students were observed; they had four main difficulties during the probation process: their insertion in the hospital context, the contact with the patients, the actuation with the patient’s relatives and the relationship with the health staff. For each one of those problems were presented used strategies in supervision to surpass those obstacles. We concluded that probation supervision occupies a fundamental place to solve the presented difficulties.
